Grade 12 - Science
Chemistry II (Credit: 1.00)Chemistry II continues coursework from Chemistry I. This course includes a review of the empirical and molecular formulas, the first law of thermodynamics, electromagnetic energy, classifying subatomic particles and forces, molecular geometry, identification of symbols used in writing chemical reactions, properties of solids, colligative properties, rate of diffusion, osmotic pressure, activation energy, the pH scale, spontaneous reactions, Le Chatelier's Principle, buffers, heat of reaction, and entropy.
Comprehensive Biology (Credit: 1.00)Comprehensive Biology covers a range of instructional topics including the definition of biology, atoms and elements, cell processes, comparison of DNA and RNA, identification of the kingdoms and phyla, fungal diseases, artificial reproduction, cnidaria, the worm phyla, nervous, circulatory, and respiratory systems of vertebrates, the human body support systems, digestion, skeletal support, the human spinal cord and brain, the digestive process, the importance of water in digestion and excretion, the male and female reproductive systems, gestation and childbirth, and other social issues in biology.
Earth and Space Science (Credit: 1.00)GC Earth and Space Science is a comprehensive, completely integrated course for grade levels 9–12. This course provides the basic foundations of scientific measurement skills, a comprehensive look at the way the Earth and all its layers are formed, and a complete overview of the solar system and its major components. Each lesson is designed to be the foundation for the next lesson in the course so that students are provided the best reinforcement of key terminology throughout their studies. Interactive media has been included to help engage the student in the visual learning process.
Physical Science offers several distinctive components: an in-depth examination of the biological functions of vision and sound in relation to physical laws, the impact of scientific discoveries on technology and society, and an overview of natural hazards, including the impact of humans on the environment. The Physical Science course covers the fundamentals of chemistry, matter, energy, and various scientific fields. The lessons are designed to move the student beyond the level of basic knowledge into critical thinking and learning activities.
Physics (Credit: 1.00)Physics is an advanced level science course that includes the introduction to physics concepts, mathematics as the language of physics, scalar and vector quantities, acceleration, Newton's first law of motion, vectors, universal gravitation, mechanical advantage, thermal energy, types of waves, definition of sound, Snell's Law, atoms, magnets, the unit of charge, Ohm's Law, resistance, combined electrical circuits, how electricity is generated, and a brief review of astronomy.
